That just gave me an idea. Now this goes into the flash cart territory so anti-flash people, try to hold on. What if a flash cart is made and where the label goes is a little window? Anyone can buy the cart and game makers can sell their game as an uploadable image put on a normal CD-R along with a label-card that you just drop in behind the window. They could sell the game, label-card, manual and even a box if they want to. This way there is no wicked high cart prices (because everyone only needs one cart) and there isn't a need to press a bunch of CDs that only some of the Jaguar scene can play. Game makers can still price games they know will sell at. We get a feeling of buying a full product and all we have to do is put the disc in our PC, hook up the cart and load it!Retrofanatic83 wrote:I might be sad but I do enjoy the labels and just seeing the cart running in the machine.

Sooo now that we have a larger Jaguar fan base in the forums what do you developers think of my idea?
